1. Model organisms are species that are studied to understand the biology of other organisms‚ usually humans. Fruit flies share 75% of the genes that cause certain diseases with humans. Therefore scientists can learn about human genetics by studying fruit fly genetics. This falls under the bigger principle of understanding the basic biology that all organisms have in common. Common fruit flies like Drosophila are useful when studying genetics for several reasons‚ such as their small size that makes

Chromosome 6 Robin Cook’s book Chromosome 6 is about organ transplantation and the possible dangers that could arise if the organs became tradable commodity‚ but before reading the book we had no idea what it was going to be about. Biotechnology was not a subject us two girls knew a lot about. Hearing the word biotechnology we thought of cloning‚ lab work‚ and experiments. Little did we know that it is much more complex than we thought. Biotechnology deals with crops to animals‚ fruit‚ milk‚ and

Biology- Maintaining a Balance Summary 1. Most organisms are active in a limited temperature range 1. identify the role of enzymes in metabolism‚ describe their chemical composition and use a simple model to describe their specificity on substrates Enzymes are proteins which act as catalysts in living things (they lower the amount of energy needed for a reaction‚ therefore increasing rate of reaction). Enzymes speed up reactions but are not used up by them. Enzymes catalyze only one
